[committee] Restrictions on group applications for freshers

[Ash Tyndall]

I have received complaints from freshers regarding the policy that freshers
cannot be on groups until Semester 2 of any given year.
Freshers feel this policy is arbitrary and is not justifiable.
For example, the fresher rep has a precedented exemption from this policy.
In this way, the policy assigns a higher level of trust to a role that is
not elected on trust. The policy is thus inconsistent and hard to logically
defend.
I would ask the committee to present the reasons for this decision and to
consider a policy where *every* person is reviewed for groups based on trust
and never due to arguably meaningless labels.
